Bridge Of Faith by Catherine West

Book Description:
Two lives taken down different roads - one enduring love - one shot at starting over.
If only they believed in second chances. 
Julia Connelly is finally free from twelve long years in an abusive relationship. Now able to live the life she’s longed for, Julia takes her two children back home to Vermont, hoping for peace and healing. The last person she expects to see is the man she eloped with at eighteen—who then abandoned her two months into their marriage, with little explanation. 

When an assignment in the Middle East ends in tragedy, popular news correspondent, Reid Wallace, returns to his hometown seeking answers and peace of mind. 

Confronting his past was not in the plan. 

Now he’s asking different questions. Like why the only woman he’s ever really loved still mesmerizes him. Why the haunted expression she wears reaches right into his soul. 

And why her twelve year-old son looks just like him. 

They say you can’t go home again. Sometimes you don’t have a choice.

This is the first novel I have read by Catherine West, but I am sure it will not be the last. West not only captured my attention but my heart, as she wove together a story filled with depth, hope, heart, forgiveness and so much more! Her characters were well developed and the interaction between them kept the pages turning.

Well thought out, richly textured and heartwarming! Loved it!
